ARISE (Antarctic Remote Ice Sensing Experiment) in the East 2003: validation of satellite-derived sea-ice data products Annals of Glaciology, 2006 (Ref: 12845)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Preliminary results are presented from the first validation of geophysical data products (ice concentration, snow thickness on sea ice (hs) and ice temperature (TI ) from the NASA EOS Aqua AMSRE sensor, in East Antarctica (in September–October 2003).

Microwave backscatter character of Antarctic snow cover observed with NSCAT on ADEOS. Proceedings of IGARSS`98. Seattle, WA, USA, 6-10 July 1998., 1998 (Ref: 9032)
Category 3: Abstract

Measurements of the microwave backscatter coefficient in the ku-band have been obtained over the Antarctic snow cover by the NSCAT wind scatterometer instrument on the ADEOS satellite from August 1996 to June 1997. The instrument has six antennas arranged with two directed forwards…

Directional anisotropy of C- and ku-band microwave backscatter from the East Antarctic snow cover: differences and similarities. Proceedings of workshop on "Emerging scatterometer applications: from research to operations", ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands, 5-7 October 1998., 1998 (Ref: 9031)
Category 3: Abstract

Measurements of the microwave backscatter from the Antarctic ice sheet have been obtained by the single-sided, right-looking, C-band wind scatterometer carried by the ERS-1 and 2 satellites and by the dual-sided, ku-band NSCAT instrument on ADEOS.

Interannual variability of Antarctic snow melt events derived from scatterometer data. Proceedings of IGARSS`98, Seattle, WA, USA. 6-10 July 1998, 1998 (Ref: 8555)
Category 3: Conference paper

Microwave backscatter from the Antarctic snow cover depends on the surface roughness, properties and structure within the snow cover, and moisture content. Small increases in moisture content produce a significant reduction in backscatter.

Wind-induced directional anisotropy of microwave backscatter and its impact on imaging of the Antarctic snow cover Proceedings of IGARSS`98, Seattle, WA, USA. 6-10 July 1998, 1998 (Ref: 8554)
Category 3: Conference paper

The 500 km wide swath of the right-looking ERS wind scatterometer and the orbital geometry allows measurement of the microwave backscatter of all the Antarctic region north of latitude 79°S.

A semi-automated line tracing technique for monitoring ice margins in Antarctic images. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2006 (Ref: 12379)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The current shape and rate of change of the margins of the Antarctic ice sheet are … poorly known. Since polar regions are inhospitable, remotely sensed images … provide an invaluable data source for studying the ice margin.

Digital Elevation Models for the Lambert Glacier - Amery Ice Shelf system, East Antarctica, from ERS-1 satellite radar altimetry. Journal of Glaciology, 2000 (Ref: 9365)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Lambert Glacier–Amery Ice Shelf system is a major component of the East Antarctic ice sheet. This paper presents two Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) that have been generated for the Lambert Glacier - Amery Ice Shelf system from validated ERS-1 satellite radar altimeter waveform data.

Velocity and strain rates derived from InSAR analysis over the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Annals of Glaciology, 2002 (Ref: 12050)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We use displacements derived from matching complex synthetic aperture radar data using maximum coherence to generate a dense network of velocity estimates over the … Amery Ice Shelf.

Near-coastal iceberg distributions in East Antarctica 50°E - 145°E. Annals of Glaciology, 1998 (Ref: 8541)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A survey of icebergs using satellite radar images has been made in the Seasonal Sea Ice Zone (SSIZ) of East Antarctica in the sector between longitudes 50°E and 145°E.

Comparison of ERS satellite radar altimeter heights with GPS-derived heights on the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Annals of Glaciology, 1998 (Ref: 8494)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

In the spring of 1995 an extensive global positioning system (GPS) survey was carried out on the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, providing ground-truth ellipsoidal height measurements for the European remote-sensing satellite (ERS) radar altimeters.

Comparison of ERS altimeter and GPS heights on the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Proceedings of the 3rd ERS Scientific Symposium, Florence, 17-21 March, 1997, 1997 (Ref: 7512)
Category 3: Conference paper

A Global Positioning System (GPS) survey has been carried out on the Amery Ice Shelf, providing "ground-truth" measurements of ellipsoidal height for the ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellite altimeters.

Applications of time series of microwave backscatter over the Antarctic region. Proceedings of the 3rd ERS scientific symposium, Florence, 17-21 March, 1997., 1997 (Ref: 8553)
Category 3: Conference paper

The 500 km wide swath of the ERS Wind scatterometer and its orbit geometry allows the measurement of the microwave backscatter of all the Antarctic region between latitudes 55°S and 79°S every three days.

Directional anisotropy of C-band backscatter and orientation of surface microrelief in East Antarctica. Proceedings of 1st Australian ERS-1 Symposium, University of Tasmania, Hobart, 6 February 1996, 1996 (Ref: 6923)
Category 3: Conference paper

There is a distinct directional anisotropy in microwave backscatter from the surface of the East Antarctic ice sheet as measured by the C-band wind scatterometer carried by the ERS-1 satellite.

Visualisation of the Antarctic seasonal sea ice zone using ERS-1 wind scatterometer. Congress Proceedings of the 12th Australian Institute of Physics Congress, Hobart, 1996, 1996 (Ref: 7215)
Category 3: Abstract

The ERS-1 wind scatterometer is an active microwave instrument operating at 5.3 GHz in the C-band with VV-polarisation. Measurements of the microwave backscatter coefficient of the surface are made at regularly spaced points within a 500 km wide swath along each orbit.
